Since Michelle's divine encounter and miraculous rescue, she and her mother have not returned to Boracay Island. Upon arriving in Manila, they were inundated with interview requests from newspapers, magazines, and television networks. Within a short time the media had dubbed her "Aussie Mermaid."
Following a special ceremony honouring the crew of the F/V Alyss Star, Michelle and Rachelle returned to Australia where they were reunited with Rachelle's two younger daughters, Angeline and Natalie. During the following eighteen months, Michelle and Rachelle wrote this account of their ordeal giving testimony to God's grace and power. They currently reside in the Brisbane, Australia.
Michelle was then requested to embark upon telling her remarkable experience to a wide variety of mediums. From schools, churches, radio stations, magazines, to being a guest speaker at many varying events. Michelle and Rachelle were interviewed on Good morning Australia, and the Midday Show. They appeared in an exclusive magazine story with the Woman's Day magazine.
During the following 18 months, together they wrote the book of their ordeal, giving testimony to God's grace and power. They flew to America where they secured a publisher who first printed the book in hard cover format. Michelle and Rachelle have now produced 'Saved At Sea' in a soft cover format and e book.
During the 6 months in America in 1991, Michelle and Rachelle shared the testimony on 100 radio and 12 television stations, sharing the message of having 100% Faith! in God, in the midst of a storm.
While there, they agreed to having Readers Digest take an excerpt from the book and publish it internationally in their book section in 1992. The story entitled 'Swept to Sea' appeared in the Readers Digest, in 27 countries, in 18 languages. This has been a powerful witness of God's saving grace and miraculous power.
Out in the ocean, Michelle made a promise to serve God and faithfully bring this message to the nations. Michelle and Rachelle share the gospel around the world about the God that rescues us; not just from the ocean, but from the storms of life and the hungry human sharks that surround us. Reminding people that "Greater is Jesus in us, than he that is in the world."
Michelle and Rachelle reside in the Brisbane, Australia, but spend much of their time travelling the world, sharing the message of having 100% Faith! In GOD.
Michelle is married and has 2 adult children Asher and Grace.
